Veronica spicata 'Red Fox'
Speedwell, Spiked
'Red Fox' Veronica has delightful upright spikes of reddish pink flowers that cover its low growing, dense foliage of glossy green in early summer continuing until fall. These are lightly fragrant, highly attractive to bees and butterflies and will continue blooming if regularly deadheaded. Spiked speedwell makes a wonderful choice in a cut flower for its long-lasting blooms.
